Disneyland

Pros: Fun, They Accommodate People w/Disabilities, Magical
Cons: If only every boy and girl could visit!

Most of my friends know that if they offered me a vacation to anywhere… I would choose Disneyland! Yes, even over Hawaii and other exotic places. Perhaps it is the love for kids within me, or the child-at-heart, or just the grown-up that...

Pros: Great family fun, excellent rides, well maintained.
Cons: ~None~

Pros: Great fun and even more when you have saved money!
Cons: The lines can be long.

We go to Disneyland every other year and I send many families there yearly. By talking with them after they return (and adding my own experiences), I have come up with these money saving hints.

There are two ways to see...

Pros: Great Rides, Great Themes, Great Service
Cons: Crowded, Space Mountain Closed until 2005, two hour waits for Splash Mountain

Disney California is the Granddaddy of the Disney Parks. In some ways this is good, you can find all of your familiar and favorite rides. In some ways this is bad. This Disney park is not as large and doesn't shine as much as its Florida cousin. ...

Pros: Good clean family fun!
Cons: Expensive!

My husband recently took his yearly vacation from work and we had not really made any plans to do anything special, or so I thought! Little did I know that the wheels were turning in his mind and he was thinking that now was the perfect time for a...

Pros: Beautiful Grounds; Family-Oriented; Wonderful Imaginative Park
Cons: A Little Expensive

Pros: the happiest place on earth!
Cons: can get quite expensive!

This is not actually a "Land" vs. "World" of Disney review, but more of a compare and contrast review. For some people, it's difficult or impractical to travel to Orlando, Florida's DISNEY WORLD, and for others, the traveling distance to get out...

Pros: Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean Rides
Cons: Not much to do, and inclement weather takes out a lot of rides!

OK, I have been to Disney World many times, and would have never even thought to visit Disneyland until a friend of mine moved out to CA and started to work there. She invited me down for a week, and because she is employed there, I got in for free- not...

Pros: Everything for a child, it's magical.
Cons: The heat and the price of water.

Disneyland 50th Anniversary I have been deployed with my national guard unit on two tours of duty and spent 14 months in an Army hospital. My daughter was five years old when I started deploying after 9/11. I am finally home and my daughters ...

Pros: Nostalgic park where imagination lives
Cons: Crowds. Lines. More crowds.

Disneyland is the consummate family theme park. The original. The big enchilada. It's the place where Walt Disney's fantasy theme park first took shape, nearly two decades before the overkill of Florida's version came on the scene. Disneyland is a place ...

Pros: No need to wait in long ticket lines. It pays off after 4 visits!
Cons: Can be expensive if you do not visit Disneyland regularly.

Pros: Huge variety of attractions, excellent theming, food better than expected, generally magical
Cons: Quite a bit down for renovation, gets very crowded

I am very blessed to have wonderful parents who took me on excellent vacations as a kid, including a ridiculous number of trips to Disney World. Many, many of my favorite childhood memories center around our wonderful annual trips. Because of this, I ...

Pros: Nice beginning on take off. You pop a wheely.
Cons: Poor ending and not to many thrills for a thrill ride. Circle Vision theatre(puke)

One of the newest rides at Disneyland is the Rocket Rods. This ride is suppose to be like supper fast version of the Transit Authority ride at DisneyWorld. I was a bit disappointed in it. One reason I liked the old slow calm relaxing ride that took you...

Pros: Memories/sites/togetherness
Cons: Long lines/cost

This is only my experience in sending my kids to Florida. You have to be the judge when it comes to being able to afford the trip. You have a lot of waiting in long lines, as much as one hour or more. Unless you get a fast pass. Is the trip worth...

Pros: The Happiest Place on Earth & Mickey Mouse and Friends
Cons: Sometimes can get very crowded. Price of tickets keeps soaring!

Walt Disney once dreamed of a place where people of all ages can come to enjoy themselves and at the same time learn and share laughter together as a family! Walt Disney's dream can be found at Disneyland!

Currently there are 202...
